I witnessed something disturbing last night.

While watching the Fourth of July Fireworks on the waterfront in Sausalito, I experienced some mighty strange crowd reaction.

The fireworks were pretty good, but, seven or eight times during the event, a charge would be fired into the night sky that would burst and then send out all these smaller projectiles that looked like fighter-borne missiles. The "missiles" would then streak toward the ground (actually, the water of San Francisco Bay).

I thought it was some kind of strange that, each and every time, the crowd would go into this "Whoo- hoo! Hell yes! USA!USA!USA!"
ecstasy.

In Sausalito, no less. And there were women in the crowd going all nuts, too.

Maybe it would be a good thing if all of those Jingo-Dog Chickenshit Bastards had the opportunity to be fired upon, someday. Maybe just a few rifle rounds, maybe RPGs, maybe mortars.

My sentiments exactly. When I went to my city's display, there was applause at the end, but it was just typical applause like you might hear at the end of a good concert.
TominTib constantly goes out of his way to show what a deeply repulsive man he really is.

I have to admit that we had cheers for almost every big firework at our local show this year. Of course, it was a couple kids going "WOW" or "COOL!" :p

In actual dollars, President Obamaís $4.4 trillion in deficit spending in just three years is 37 percent higher than the previous record of $3.2 trillion (held by President George W. Bush) in deficit spending for an entire presidency. Itís no small feat to demolish an 8-year record in just 3 years.

Under Obamaís own projections, interest payments on the debt are on course to triple from 2010 (his first budgetary year) to 2018, climbing from $196 billion to $685 billion annually.

A couple of years ago at Veterans State Park (Lake Blackshear), we went to the fireworks show. When they fired off a couple of the really loud ones (you know, the ones you can feel the concussion when they explode), this probably 17 or so year old kid stood up and, I shit you not, held out his arms and yelled, "Here I is!!!" every time they fired off the loud ones. The girls he was with just laughed like he really showed off his bravery in the face of people apparently trying to find him in the crowd of thousands to blow up with the fireworks. He wasn't scared though, he shouted to make sure they knwew where he was. I was sooooo proud of that young man staring down such a lack of imminent danger.

True story. No bullshit.

I feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad
